Introducing the AKS managed default domain
· 6 min read
Getting an application online often takes more than deploying it. You need a domain, a DNS zone, a TLS certificate, and automation to keep the certificate and records current. That setup makes sense for a branded production endpoint, but it can slow down development, testing, demos, and proof-of-concept environments.
Today, we're introducing the managed default domain for Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) in public preview. The feature gives an AKS cluster a domain under aksapp.io, a publicly trusted wildcard TLS certificate, and managed DNS records. You bring a workload and a Kubernetes Gateway and HTTPRoute; AKS manages the rest.
